The caregivers of a 3-year-old boy who died in March have been arrested on murder charges.

Shiann Erickson and Rosa Garza, both of Moorhead, have been booked into the Clay County Correctional Facility on charges of second-degree murder without intent for the death of Eastyn Deronjic, according to a Monday release from the Moorhead Police Department.

Investigators recently received autopsy results, the release said. Erickson, 22, and Garza, 24, were arrested Monday morning, the release said.

Deronjic’s younger sibling is in protective custody, police said.

Police began investigating Deronjic’s death on March 18 after being called to Stonecrest Apartments, 1402 Belsly Blvd., for a child who was not breathing.

In the months since, family and friends have been calling for answers and justice in the boy’s death.

“Somebody has to be charged and somebody held responsible for Eastyn’s death,” his grandmother, Adisa Deronjic, said during a march in June.
